POV: Raphael “I know what I said, and he’s leaving right now!” Nathan responded to her, turning to glare at me. “I’m glad you know I would be searching for you, Cindy. I won’t why you look so scared,” I let out calmly, smiling down at her. “Do not piss me off, Raphael!Get the fuck out of my house, right now, I don’t want to hurt you and I will not be held responsible for my actions if you do not leave now. This is my house and I want you to leave, right now!Leave now before I break your legs and hands and send you back to Gramps in a body bag!” He warned, his gaze fixed on mine. I scoffed at his threat and simply ignored him. I guess it’s high time he finds out that I am too tough for him to deal with. “You don’t scare me, Nate, I am not afraid of you. I came over to speak with Cindy and I won’t leave until I do.” I responded firmly, looking straight up and ignoring his stern gaze."Where are they, Cindy?" I asked her sternly, smirking evilly at her.“Tell me where I can find th
POV: Raphael Cindy shivered in fear as she watched me knock him unconscious. She got up in fear and just gazed at him in shock with her hands covering her mouth.“Is he dead?Did you kill him?!” She asked me, her eyes shining brightly as if she couldn’t see better without looking that way. I scoffed and ignored her while making sure my brother was firmly secured so he wouldn’t wake up suddenly and attack me again.“What did you do, what have you done!You killed him, you fucking killed him!You bastard!You fucking murderer!” she yelled in anger and frustration as she gathers her things and prepares to leave. I did not even see her gathering her things as she yelled and called me a murderer. It was when she dropped some things while trying to run to the door that I saw that she was trying to escape.I ran after her and lifted her to my shoulder, taking her back to the couch.“Put me down, Raphael Hawkins!I will not be dragged into your family drama, I have enough problems with my fa
POV: Raphael Nathan lay unconscious on the floor, and a few feet away, his girlfriend lay limply on the floor as well. I gazed at them as their chest heaved with their breath. They were both sleeping peacefully, unconscious from my attack. I smiled in satisfaction as I no longer needed to take Claire hostage to draw her parents out. “Are you really sure that this is not a trick to get me out of this house, are you sure it’s not a decoy?” I asked Carl as I called him to confirm that the information he had was not bogus. I have been thinking about it since I received that message from Carl, informing him that he had found her parents. Yeah, I know Carl is always accurate and he does his job perfectly. But I can’t shake off the feeling that Austin and his wife may be trying to get me to leave her so that they could come and get their daughter and disappear from this city. She is the only leverage that I have right now, I can’t let her out of my sight until I confirm that his informati
POV: Raphael So I met Austin Kendall, sitting on the floor and rummaging through some papers like a lunatic. He looked up with a mix of confusion and fury, I could tell that something’s terribly wrong and that is why I did not respond to him "What have you done, Raphael Hawkins? You ruined my family, why the hell did you steal the documents and sell the properties meant for Claire, Victoria and I?You thought I would not give them their share of the goods, what have you done?I told you it was mine!I told you to stay the hell away from my family, but you chose to meddle in things that you do not understand." He lets out furiously, throwing me off balance and confusing me."I didn't take anything, goddammit! What the hell are you talking about, what is wrong with you, have you gone mad?” I asked him angrily dragging him from the floor and throwing him up against the wall, holding him by the neck and forcing him to stay still and look right back at me. He tried to struggle
POV: Raphael“You fucking idiot!How did you not see that these documents are forgeries, how dumb are you?” I yelled furiously at him. His eyes widened in shock as he is just realized that he has been duped. He kept flipping through the papers one after the other, crosschecking every detail. “Holy shit!Goddammit!That fucking bitch tricked me, she fucking fooled me!” He screamed angrily, throwing the fake papers to the floor in anger.“What are you talking about, who has the original documents, where is it?Is it Vera or Cindy, who do you suspect?” I asked him urgently, trying to get him to talk. He turned to me and scoffed at my question, his anger evident in his face.“You have no idea what you just walked into, do you?You have no idea what she is capable of, you don’t know her like I do. I warned you to stay back, I warned you to stay away from my family, didn’t I?If these documents are fake, it means she has always know that I have no claims to the company, and yet s
POV: Raphael“Stop, Raphael!I asked you to stop right now, I need you to stop and tell me what is going on. What happened to my sister!Why won’t you answer me?!” he yelled at me, pulling me back to a stop and coming to stand in front of me. I’d heard him asking those ridiculous questions as he ran after me, even running faster than me. But I chose to ignore him because the longer I wait, the more danger the girls will be in. Now he is just being ridiculous and stupid!He stood in front of me and blocked my path, pushing my chest roughly and stopping me from getting into my car. He looked at me as if he wanted to hurt me, you would think that we are enemies or something.“Are you mad or something, Miguel?Are you bidding for a beat down or you are simply trying to annoy the shit out of me?” I asked him angrily, pushing his chest roughly and pushing my way through him, trying to get past him. But he was relentless, he pushed me back harder, standing on my way as if he could st
POV: MiguelI was restless after Victoria left my house. I missed her the moment she left, and I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something bad is about to happen. I tried to call her, but she wasn’t taking my calls, and that made me even more worried than I was initially. I left the house as if my ass was on fire and I tieed locate her, trying to trace her location through her phones GPS.But I couldn’t get her location, it seems like she turned off the location setting on her phone already. I kept trying to reach her, dropping messages and voice notes, but I still couldn’t get to her. After a while, her phone stopped connecting too, and that was when I knew that something is not right. I decided to call for backup while I also report this matter to the cops and hand over the DNA results and the other things I have to prove that Victoria is the missing baby that everyone has been searching for these past twenty four years. I was already on my way to make a report at the precin
POV: Miguel“We are not playing games, Mr. Hawkins; we are hiding from the thugs that evaded your home while you were away. They had guns, Mr Hawkins, they threatened to shoot us if we made any move to contact the cops or you. They were so mean and heartless, they hurt anyone that refused to follow their orders.” One of the maids let out in fear, her voice breaking at the end.“They robbed us and left with ma’am Eloise and her two girls.” Another girl added sadly, her eyes filled with tears. I don’t even know if she is crying for herself or for Marisol and her daughter, who is missing.“What thugs? Where are the guards? Who let them in? Who brought them here?!” Raphael asked in anger, kicking the lamp on the table in front of him. He looked so furious, I wanted to punch him in the fucking face.“What games are you playing, Raphael? Are you in this together? Are you working with Eloise to keep my sister away from me?What is the big idea? What do you hope to gain from this? Where
